Dorms from \u20ac12, cepelinai at \u20ac5 to \u20ac7, a beer at \u20ac3 to \u20ac4, and a day around \u20ac35 to \u20ac45.\r\nWhat is U\u017eupis? | A district of Vilnius that declared itself an independent republic in 1997. It has its own constitution nailed to a wall in several languages, including the right of a dog to be a dog. It takes twenty minutes and costs nothing.\r\nWhat is the Curonian Spit? | A 98km sand bar between a lagoon and the open Baltic, half Lithuanian and half Russian, with enormous dunes, pine forest and villages of painted wooden houses. Reach it by ferry from Klaip\u0117da and cycle it.\r\nWhat is the Hill of Crosses? | A mound near \u0160iauliai covered in more than 100,000 crosses left by pilgrims. Soviet authorities bulldozed it repeatedly and people rebuilt it every time, which is why it matters here.\r\nWhen is the best time to visit? | June to August for light and warmth, with midsummer on 23 and 24 June the biggest date in the calendar. Winter is cold and dark, though Vilnius does a good Christmas market and prices are at their lowest.\r\nIs Lithuania in the Schengen area? | Yes, and it uses the euro, so time here counts against the 90-day allowance.
